It's great to be able to play 'Angry Birds' on the Android Jelly Bean-equipped Samsung Galaxy Camera, but does it really need a 3G or 4G connection as well?
Samsung says "no," and on Friday the company launched a new Galaxy Camera model, the appropriately named Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi), to offer a wi-fi only alternative.
The Galaxy Camera with dual-band wi-fi features the same specs as the older model, but with a lower price point thanks to the omission of data network capabilities.
Samsung did not reveal the Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi)'s release date or pricing in its announcement on Friday, though it did promise a smaller price tag.
More than meets the eye
We like to poke fun, but in truth the Galaxy Camera packs a lot in to a frame that's hardly larger than an average smartphone.
The wi-fi model leaves the 16.3 megapixel sensor and 1/2.3" BSI CMOS intact, along with the Galaxy Camera's 21x optical zoom, 23mm wide angle lens, and 4.8-inch display.
And like its data-ready older sibling, the wi-fi Galaxy Camera sports the full Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS and a 1.4GHz quad-core processor.
Provided it's connected to Wi-Fi, the Galaxy Camera can upload photos directly to social networks, email them to contacts, and back them up instantly to cloud storage.
TechRadar reached out to Samsung to determine when we can expect to learn the Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi)'s release date and pricing, but the company has not yet responded.
